What We Do
The New York Area Program Integration Office (NYAPIO) was established to address congestion and delay issues in the New York Metropolitan Area. To do that, we developed the New York Area Integrated Master Schedule and Delay Reduction Plan.
In 2007 the airline industry had one of the worst performance records in aviation history. New York area airports had more delays than any airport in the country. Approximately 75% of all delays in the National Airspace System were attributed to flights arriving, departing, or traversing the NY Metropolitan area airspace. Delays have a direct impact on the aviation industry and the ability to transport passengers and goods in a timely and cost-effective manner. We exist to fix that.
Although on-time performance in the NY Metropolitan area airspace has improved, the New York area airports remain among the most delayed airports in the country. There remains work to be accomplished to improve system efficiency and on-time performance in the NY Metropolitan area airspace. NYAPIO continues to address congestion and delays in the NY Metropolitan area airspace.
